Silicone Sponge Puff Face Flawless Applicator

When it comes to the Leia's pros, I love that this applicator is hygienic and sustainable. Even after I wash a makeup sponge, there are times when I feel like it isn't truly clean. After washing the Leia with cleanser, I could physically see that it was completely free of any makeup. I also love that I don't have to apply as much product when I use it. The Leia didn't absorb any makeup, and I didn't need to get it wet to use it, so a tiny amount went a long way. Plus, it truly did give my skin a smooth look that I haven't really been able to achieve with beauty sponges or brushes.

I did find concealer to be the most difficult thing to apply with the Leia, mostly because it felt a little too big and wobbly for a precise application to my delicate under-eye area. I also had a difficult time with the contour — again, I felt like I couldn't be as precise as I normally am with a brush or beauty sponge. I also found the texture of the Leia itself to be a little tricky — it would stick to and pull on my hair if I got too close to my hairline when applying makeup, and I also felt that it was kind of a magnet for fuzz and tiny pieces of fluff.
